The SERA 2 Any Conversion Utility

sera2any is a simple conversion utility for converting SERA documents into
a requested character coding system. Presently supported outputs are for Java,
JIS, JUNET,
and Unicode. Limited La\TeX
support is available as well as conversion into the systems used by Agafari,
ALXEthiopian, EthiO Systems
(WashRa), and Feedel.
sera2any is included as part of the sera2ps
package. Like fbanner, sera2any relies on the
``LibEth'' library routines for text conversion.

sera2any now supports Rich Text Format (RTF) output for the MS Windows fonts
by Agafari, ALXEthiopian, Feedel, and Washra. More font systems will be added
as the information becomes available. The next stage for sera2any will be to
make an ``any2any'' resource that will convert from one system in RTF into any
other -as well as into SERA, etc. An X11 interface will be developed, a GUI
interface for MS Windows users would be a great asset as well!
People knowledgable in Visual Basic who would like to contribute to this
project please contact yacob@padis.gn.apc.org.

Provides a Fidel table with statistical output of charac-
ter occurances into the files ``fidel.stats'' and sorted
statistics in ``fidel2.stats''. System defaults as sera
or may be one of junet, jis, alxet, agafari, feedel, unicode,
or washra. Appending -html to the system name will format
the statistics output for HTML.

Example: -stats jis-html

-todos

The input file is Unix text, insert DOS ^M end of line
characters. Output will be in DOS text. This option
impacts parsing speed and is only available when sera2any
is compiled for DOS support.
